This is the one I got for Alison for Christmas <http://tech.woot.com/offers/panasonic-lumix-14-1-mp-20x-opt-digital-cam-15?ref=cnt_wp_8_7> We have three of those Leica-lensed Panasonics and all three have served yeoman duty; good glass, responsive electronics. My Pentax is this one they're out of <http://tech.woot.com/offers/pentax-12-4mp-compact-camera-w-5-15mm-lens-11?ref=cnt_wp_8_32> I like it, but it's right on the low end of usable size for my mitts. Any smaller and it'd be hard to use. I'm saving up to get their new 15-45mm tele/macro lens; it's about 2x the cost of the camera! (this is about 80-250 mm in 35mm terms) and a prime lens. Still mucking about with adapters, too. I got one for D-mount (8mm) movie lenses; mom gave me Dad's old movie camera and I've gotten some middling decent results with them...but I have to relearn guesstimating exposures to get better results. this was with the 37mm telephoto from the movie camera.<https://www.flickr.com/photos/35245797@N00/14010915094/in/set-72157644296954392> I'm pissed I cut off the tip of her nose, because this was a really nice pic otherwise. Peculiarly, Flickr seems to think my Q10 is an old Polaroid, judging by the camera icon in the information graphic... > The tripod is a low end Slik. My money's still on a wonky battery connection; or maybe a short to ground through the tripod mount? -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
